Chapter 172

Mo Wangu's expression turned cold, the sharpness in his eyes fully revealed:

"Don't be arrogant!"

"This ancestor of mine is a true half-step Dao Emperor embodiment, with foundations as firm as the ages, relying on the ancestral land's dragon veins to ascend to the emperor realm; my combat power is in no way inferior to your orthodox Dao Emperor!"

"Your invincibility in the outer realms is merely an affair of the outer realms."

"Setting foot in my Mo Ling Ancient Clan's ancestral land makes it my home turf!"

"Today, you have slaughtered my clansmen, committing heinous sins; either you cripple your cultivation, leave your soul origin, and make amends to my Mo Ling Ancient Clan!"

"Or else, here and now, we fight to the death, letting fate decide!"

Mo Wangu's ambition is lofty; he sits in command of the ancestral land's might, holds the clan's supreme treasure in his hand, his own foundation is unfathomable, and from beginning to end he has never shown the slightest fear of Li Zhangsheng.

In his view, as fellow Dao Emperors in combat power, he enjoys the advantages of timing and terrain, and with a heaven-defying treasure in hand, he may well be able to slay his opponent!

Li Zhangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, speaking in a calm tone: "Come, I'll give you a chance—go all out."

"Let me see just how capable you old fogey are, whether you can give me an itch!"

Li Zhangsheng also wanted to see just how much power a Dao Emperor realm expert from the Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu could wield!

These words of his directly and thoroughly enraged Mo Wangu.

Throughout the ages, no one has ever dared to so lightly disparage this progenitor of the Mo Ling Ancient Clan!

"Since you insist on seeking death, then this ancestor will grant your wish!"

Mo Wangu let out a cold shout, his imperial Dao power erupting fully, the ancestral land's dragon veins roaring wildly, endless golden Dao power from heaven and earth converging upon him!

He grasped at the void with his right hand, the ancestral seal on his brow blazing with myriad zhang of light, the vast and ancient ancestral Dao power shooting straight into the clouds!

"My clan's supreme treasure, the inheritance of myriad ages—today I will let you witness the true foundation of my Mo Ling Ancient Clan!"

Hum!

A resonant boom of the treasure that shook the ages rang out between heaven and earth!

A colossal cauldron forged entirely of chaos, inscribed with myriad innate Dao patterns, encircled by the ancestral dragon god chains, burst forth from the depths of the ancestral land's dragon veins and hovered above Mo Wangu's head!

This is the Mo Ling Ancient Clan's clan-suppressing treasure, the Myriad Dao Ingesting Spirits Primordial Cauldron!

This cauldron is an innate spiritual treasure born at the dawn of heaven and earth, having suppressed the clan's fortune for millions of years, unmatched in offense and defense, capable of devouring all heavenly Daos and refining souls!

Ordinarily wielded personally by Mo Wangu, now activated with the power of the ancestral land's Dao Emperor, the treasure's might has surged to the extreme!

"Myriad Dao Ingesting Spirits, the Primordial Ancestor Suppresses the Heavens!"

Mo Wangu's hand seals shifted, he chanted the ancient, obscure primordial secret incantation, and fully activated the heaven-defying treasure!

In an instant, the Myriad Dao Ingesting Spirits Primordial Cauldron blazed with myriad zhang of light, its mouth opened, erupting with a terrifying suction that devoured all things in the heavens!

Myriad Dao ancestral dragon god chains burst forth from the void, entwining the heavenly firmament, sealing the four directions, directly cutting off all of Li Zhangsheng's retreat routes!

A cauldron shadow tens of millions of zhang tall loomed into the world, carrying an overwhelming momentum that crushes and devours all things, wielding the power of the ancestral land's Dao Emperor as it came crashing down upon Li Zhangsheng from above!

This strike is Mo Wangu's strongest blow of his lifetime!

With a half-emperor foundation, bolstered by the ancestral land's dragon veins, perfected Dao Emperor combat power, plus the full eruption of the innate clan-suppressing treasure!

In Mo Wangu's view, under this blow, even an orthodox Dao Emperor of the same rank would suffer grave injury, certainly not an easy opponent!

All the Mo Ling Ancient Clan experts around stared at the battlefield with fiery eyes, fixed and resolute in their hearts!

The Elder Ancestor has exhausted all his trump cards, the treasure pressing down with full force—this foreign Dao Emperor is surely doomed to defeat!

Faced with the terrifying cauldron might that sweeps across heaven and earth and devours all things, Li Zhangsheng remained standing still in the void, his expression unchanging from start to finish.

He employed no secret techniques, mobilized no Dao power, and didn't even shift his posture the slightest bit.

He allowed the ancestral dragon god chains to entwine him, allowed the myriad-zhang cauldron shadow to press down, allowed the overwhelming momentum of the entire heaven and earth to crush toward him.

Mo Wangu watched coldly, thinking to himself: Even if you are an orthodox Dao Emperor, receiving this move of mine will surely leave you in a sorry state!

Just as the Myriad Dao Ingesting Spirits Primordial Cauldron was about to strike Li Zhangsheng!

Li Zhangsheng slowly raised his right hand, his demeanor languid, utterly nonchalant.

He curled his finger, giving a light flick.

Pop!

A clear, plain flick of the finger sounded softly, echoing through heaven and earth.

There was no heaven-shaking, earth-shattering phenomenon, no vast and mighty Dao Emperor divine light—just a simple, unremarkable finger.

Yet this finger contained the transcendent truth of all heavenly Daos, the supreme principle surpassing all realms.

A faint, barely perceptible gleam burst from his fingertip, instantly piercing the void and striking with pinpoint accuracy upon the myriad-zhang primordial cauldron shadow!

The next moment!

Boom—!!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion suddenly rang out across the boundless expanse!

That treasure, which shocks the ages and was born innate, a heaven-defying clan-suppressing artifact, could not even withstand a moment under this flick of the finger!

The Myriad Dao Ingesting Spirits Primordial Cauldron, originally indestructible, capable of consuming Daos and restraining emperors, saw its myriad innate Dao patterns on the body instantly shatter inch by inch, while the ancestral dragon god chains snapped and vanished one by one!

The cauldron's body, forged of chaos divine metal, exploded with a bang!

Heavenly treasures' light shattered, turning into specks of starlight that dissipated between heaven and earth!

The Mo Ling Ancient Clan's clan-suppressing treasure, passed down for a hundred thousand years, was thus utterly destroyed, reduced to nothing!

What innate spiritual treasure, what spirit-ingesting Dao-suppressing—before this finger they are as fragile as glass bubbles, unable to withstand a single blow!

"What?"

"How is this possible?!"

Mo Wangu's pupils suddenly contracted sharply; the calm, confident disdain for all under heaven on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by utter shock and disbelief!

"Impossible!!"

"My Myriad Dao Ingesting Spirits Primordial Cauldron is an innate supreme treasure; even a Dao Emperor could not possibly crush it with a single finger!!"

He tapped the ancestral land's dragon vein to attain Dao Emperor-level battle strength, deeming himself capable of matching the opponent head-on, and even with the supreme treasure he could overwhelm one.

But this scene before him completely overturned his understanding accumulated over a million years.

The opponent snapped his fingers and shattered the imperial treasure; this power seemed to transcend his comprehension of strength!!

「This power isn't all that great! 」 Li Zhangsheng dismissed it with contempt!!

Immediately afterward, he extended his finger and lightly tapped Mo Wangu!

The finger-snap's power, capable of crushing the withered and breaking the rotten, surged straight toward Mo Wangu's true form.

Mo Wangu was greatly shocked in his heart, daring not to slight it in the slightest; he fully activated the ancestral land's dragon vein power, and an imperial Dao protective light curtain instantly condensed around his body, hoping to hard-block this finger-snap divine might!

However, the gap in power was like a heavenly chasm!

Boom!

A deep, muffled roar sounded!

The imperial Dao protection condensed around Mo Wangu's body, as fragile as paper, instantly shattered!

His half-emperor fleshly body, cultivated over a million years, had no power to resist under the finger-snap's divine might.

His body suddenly exploded, blood and qi filling the heavens; his soul essence was instantly ground to nothing by the supreme power, not even a trace of remnant soul remained.

This Mo Ling Ancient Clan's patriarch Mo Wangu, who had borrowed the ancestral land's mighty trend and possessed a heaven-defying supreme treasure, fell in an instant, body and Dao extinguished!

Above the void, the wind was calm and the waves still.

The supreme treasure shattered, the Elder Ancestor perished.

The Mo Ling Ancient Clan's final trump card completely vanished like smoke.

Those dozen or so Dao Emperor peak powerhouses trapped in spacetime now had faces ashen as death, their minds and spirits utterly collapsed!

The proud patriarch Elder Ancestor, who had borrowed the land to become an emperor and matched a Dao Emperor in battle strength—what of it?

He who held the clan's supreme treasure, inherited from myriad ages—what of it?

He could not even block the opponent's simple finger-snap!

The terror of this white-clad youth has already surpassed their comprehension!

Li Zhangsheng's indifferent gaze swept over the entire Mo Ling Ancient Clan's ancestral land, and he sighed leisurely: 'Originally I did not like killing, but I feared you would go cause trouble for the Xia family, so… I shall settle this karma!'

As his words fell, he clenched his palm!

An intangible, supreme power swept across the entire main continent of the Mo Ling Ancient Clan.

The entire continent instantly turned to ash and smoke, dissipating between heaven and earth.

The Mo Ling Ancient Clan, which had dominated a realm of the heavens for hundreds of thousands of years, was hereby completely erased from existence!

Having done all this, Li Zhangsheng flicked his sleeve, his body moved, transforming into a streak of flowing light, turning and departing, vanishing into the depths of the heavenly clouds sea……
